The War of The Ring is a
grand strategy board game that allows its players to immerse themselves in the
world of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings and experience its epic action,
dramatic conflict, and memorable characters. As the Free Peoples player you
command the proud hosts of the most important kingdoms of the Third Age. From
the horse-lords of Rohan to the soldiers of Gondor and the Elven lords of
Rivendell, you lead the defense of the last free realms of Middle-earth. Face
the evil minions of Sauron on the field of battle in a desperate attempt to
delay their onslaught, while you lead the Fellowship of the Ring in the Quest
for Mount Doom. As the Shadow player you lead the hordes of the Dark Lord and
his most powerful minions as they try to bring darkness to Middle-earth.
Legions of Orcs, Trolls, Wolfriders and the dreadful Ringwraiths await your
command. Hunt the Ring-bearer and bring the precious Ring to his Master, or
crush your enemies with your unstoppable armies. This is your chance to forge
the destiny of an age.
